What kind of computers would be in trouble because of no hardware scaling? In my experience, most slow (but recent) computers can cope with -vo x11 -zoom just fine. Also, can we consider rising the debconf priority of -vo question and/or improving the description to explain about these problems? > > - when rotating the screen using beryl, the mplayer screen is missplaced > > this should be investigated better See my other mail for more on that (with attached screenshots). > what about other players? They get the same problem when Xv is used. This is the case for Totem at least. > what kind of video output is having this problem? I haven't checked any other than x11 and xv. I expect that any video output that uses a "magic" interface to send the data instead of displaying it directly in the x11 window will have this problem. -- Robert Millan ACK STORM, S.L. - http://www.ackstorm.es/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
